On some transmissions, additional code letters are applied at the top of the transmission in the vicinity of the selector lever cable - arrows -.






The transmission code is also listed on the vehicle data label.

If the vehicle data label is not available, a different transmission was accidentally installed or there is no definite way to identify the installed transmission, read the transmission code letters directly from the transmission. Refer to => [ Transmission Code Letters, Reading ].

Transmission Code Letters, Reading

The transmission code letters are on the transmission in at least two different locations.

On the transmission near the selector lever cable - two arrows -.






If these cannot be read or are upside down, the transmission code letters can also be read under the transmission mount bracket.

To read the transmission code letters under the bracket directly from the transmission, the engine and transmission must be supported. The transmission mount bracket - A - must be removed. Lower the engine/transmission just enough until it is possible to slide the bracket toward the rear. If lowered further, the pendulum support could be damaged. After being assembled, the selector lever cable must be adjusted. Refer to => [ Selector Lever Cable, Adjusting ] Adjustments.
